im curious to what the wrx community favors in terms on brands and set ups?

i am in the market for a coilover set up. i wanted to pretty much have the car pretty low. ill be using this on this as a DD and can stand some bumpiness but nothing super excessive.

just wondering if any of you would like to share what you use and how its used (i.e only track, daily driven..etc)

im looking into those BC br series and helix type set ups because i can spend money like i used to. but im not too sure on the quailty.. if anyone has these feel free to share your experiances

tia!

 

I was going to get the BC.. i say BC over Helix..

Megans looked pretty good too all around the 1000 dollar tag

 

aw **** wrong section! im sorry, mods plz move to hawaii thread*

yeah pete i was thinking that.. looks like the br can give has the same features as the type flexes which was what i wanted but eh 1500+

but ive heard more than once tha the ss have a better ride than flexes so go figure

 

hey Dave, heres a link to kevin or darkonion from the Bay which is a very helpful chart..I would list too but it would take forever to type it all out..

YUP, BC is very comparable to the TEIN MONO FLEX

 

Haha. You beat me to it.

I think you'll be happy with either the Helix or the BC's. I haven't tested anything else, so I couldn't really tell you. But as far as the Helix goes, they are pretty comfortable.

 

i think anything on the same level as flexes are too harsh for DD but its all preference id go with tein basics or helix which i was planning on getting but i think they are out of business though you can still find their products

 

LOL!! Sorry MENG!!

 

helix, out of business really? well then i guess it would be hard to file for warranty issues with the helixes?

and that link is VERY helpful, thanks!

reason id like to hear fron the hawaii guys is because for the most part we have the same taste as in ride height.. we islanders like to go low despite our ****ty roads. lol.

 

^^not all of us

 

Try the BC's. I hear they ride pretty well. If you really want a nice ride, might even consider AGX's and Eibach springs. That'll give you the lowered feeling, but still is really comfortable.

 

who is a reputable vendor that sells the BC's? any hawaii connections?

 

I know mainland vendors like AcutePerforamnce or Import Image..

 

CUSCO ZERO 2's. Not the R's so you can easily adjust w/o crawling under the car. I wouldn't run anything else!

 

oh you get $$$ ah? haha j/k

if your looknig for just springs get progress drop springs. i know that the struts will go but if you dont drive like an *** everywhere & be weary of potholes they should go the distance. combine that with & strut & sway bar combo & your lookin to turn out pretty good

 

I have progress drop springs, prepare to hear your trunk rattle really extremely loud in even the smallest potholes in a few months when your struts go out.

BC racing coilovers seem to give the best performance for the under 1k format.
